Description

CBS Dallas/Fort Worth August 21, 2021 The Texas Supreme Court sided with Texas school districts pushing for mandatory mask wearing, denying Governor Abbott's request to block temporary restraining orders on his ban on mask mandates. For weeks, Governor Greg Abbott has stood by his executive order banning mask mandates and Attorney General Ken Paxton has been keeping a running list of school districts who are not complying, some of which are in North Texas. Both Fort Worth ISD and Crowley ISD have joined the La Joya ISD lawsuit out of Travis County, which challenges the Governor's ban.
